Design

As a long established Internet Solutions Provider, we have a depth of experience in guiding and assisting clients to turn their ideas into fruitful web applications. Whichever arena you wish you to enter - be it web-based marketing, internal document management, or full blown e-business - Powernet has the skills, knowledge, and the track record to deliver results that exceed your expectations.

Whatever the nature of your project, be it a web site, HTML email marketing campaign or an Intranet development, it's vital that design plays the proper role in its development and presentation. Quality of design is a key part in ensuring that your project is perceived as a professional offering.

Design in an Internet and new media environment means more than look and feel, although these are obviously vital in communicating your organisation's values and in producing a web site or CD that users will welcome and enjoy. New media not only needs to look good, it also has to work: ways of navigating between screens and functions have to be clear and logical, as well as pleasing to use.

Our in-house design appreciate that ergonomics are as important as aesthetics: the content of your web site, for example, may be your real offering, but your public will not warm to it if it is ugly, hard to fathom or difficult to use.

Web Development

Powergroup's experienced team of web design and development consultants understand the web and how to make clients websites fulfill their potential.

We are passionate and enthusiastic about working with our clients to make great looking websites that are simple and easy to use. By combining creative and technical skill sets we can focus on the end user experience and this is always our primary aim - making the right choices for your users' needs.

Currently we are providing e-commerce, content managed, flash based, search engine optimised and video streaming solutions for our clients.

Powergroup's web development team offer the following list of skills:

• Usability and Accessibility Consultation - We can help you analyse and improve your website, making sure vital functionality is working properly and site visitors are able to use your website properly. Like anything in the public domain a website should be accessible to users with disabilities such as impaired vision or dexterity. Powergroup has years of experience in developing websites that conform to accessibility guidelines.
• Bespoke programming - Our programmers can make your website aspirations become a working reality. Powergroup can modify and work with pre-built systems and code but we pride ourselves in offering clients custom made solutions that are a perfect fit for their business needs.
• Design and Code - It's important to create a visual impact and stand apart from your competitors, but looking good should never compromise the way your website works. At Powergroup the designers creating your visuals and graphics also understand how to create valid XHTML, CSS and JavaScript.
• Looking for a lift - If your site needs a visual boost then perhaps it is time to give it a face lift. Powergroup can create custom templates for your site that will update the look of your site while retaining existing structure and functionality.
• Search Engine Optimisation - Unlike other companies, we never guarantee to get your site straight to the top of the Google search results page, instead we take a longer view and guarantee that over time we can improve your search result ranking. Powergroup works with clients to get the best from their content and promote an increase in natural search results over time.
• A Complete Package - We do not resell our services. Powergroup really are the complete package, offering Milton Keynes based hosting, custom server configuration, domain management, and bespoke web development all from the same team.
• Support and Ongoing Care - Many of our clients enjoy the flexibility of our web based content management system, allowing them the freedom to edit their website with complete confidence and without any ongoing costs.

Wiki / Intranet

Everybody understands the power of Wikipedia. At Powergroup we have utilised the power of the Wiki to collaborate and share information within our business.

Any business can benefit from the power of a Wiki, it allows information to be accessible within a business and empowers staff to improve the way they work and share information.

A web based Wiki from Powergroup can solve the information 'log jam' which can occur when company information and documentation is locked within a traditional file and document structure. Contact Powergroup to find out how an internal Wiki can benefit your business and help you work smarter.
